Social Enterprise

Introduction

Social Enterprise  business that trades for a social and/or environmental purpose.  It will have a clear sense of its ‘social mission’: which means it will know what difference it is trying to make, who it aims to help, and how it plans to do it.  is an organization that applies commercial strategies to maximize improvements in human and environmental well- being, rather than maximising profits for external shareholders.  can be structured as a for-profit or non-profit, and may take the form of a co-operative, mutual organization, a social business, or a charity organization.

An additional 307 dump sites are subject for closure or rehabilitation plans but without definite schedules for enforcement. About 215 additional landfills are being proposed to be set up nationwide.’’ Issue - Environment
